We, the people, fight for our existence We don't claim to be perfect but we're free We dream our dreams alone with no resistance Fading like the stars we wish to be You know I didn't mean What I just said But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now 'Cause little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here True perfection has to be imperfect I know that that sounds foolish but it's true The day has come and now you'll have to accept The life inside your head we give to you You know I didn't mean What I just said But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now 'Cause little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here Hey Little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You had to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here Why am I really here? Why am I really here?

Baby, out all night Until the break of day Snap me up in everything I say Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me What you're doing, baby You know it ain't right I wonder what you're doing That takes all night Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Get so disgusted When I try to kiss you I just don't feel Like I used to do Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Tried to trail you last night Baby, in my car But I'm scared I might see What I'm looking for Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me

Little by little, my heart grieves Little by little, I call your name Little by little, my tears fall Little by little, everything changes Little by little, the time goes Little by little, the days pass by Little by little, the air clears Little by little, I can breathe again I can breathe again I can breathe again, now I can breathe again Back at the mirror, your good friend Talk to the mirror to play out your game Slap in the middle, I stop then Look at the winner and the price you pay Hum! Cold was the winter, I tremble Long was the fall that had no end Now little by little, the air clears Little by little, I can breathe, I can breathe again I can breathe again I can breathe again, now Call your name, call your name Call your name, call your name Everything changes, everything changes I call your name Oh, I can breathe again I can breathe again I can breathe again I can breathe again Oooh, oooh Little by little
